Used to report cervical cytology post radiation; many of the cells were extremely bizarre and to my mind looked malignant. Fraid I coped out and reported them as 'abnormal cells present in a post radiation smear, malignancy cannot be excluded'. These changes lasted for many years until they settled down to give a normal looking 'post menopausal smear'.

Patient had previous Squamous cell Ca of the lung... had long courses of radiation and Chemo...eventually died... At autopsy, the tumor looks much more primitive and bizarre than before... radiation effect, etc... Are the any published papers that have looked at the effects of radiation on pre and post IHC staining.... Any help would be appreciated. Robert Robert L.
